Type-U 200 Ton Patrol Cruiser

[Jame]

Book 2 design. 200 tons. Jump-3, 3-G, Plant-3 (drives-C). 90 tons fuel. Model/3. 10 staterooms. 2 triple turrets (3 pulse lasers, 3 missile racks). GCarrier. 2 tons cargo. 8 crew, 12 troops. 106.95 MCr, 11 months build time.

The Type-U is useful for patrolling rear areas or when Type-Ts are not available. If not carrying troops, cargo increases to 10 tons and staterooms are used for backup crew or passengers (or prisoners). Also used by smaller states as a cheaper unit.

Nice design Jame.

IMTU I have something similar that only carries four troops, and is equipped with a particle accelerator barbette.

A variant gets rid of the troops and carries two fighters instead.

I think I like your design better, it's more versatile.

One nitpick. Should be a T1, not U... Otherwise, awesome

 

[Jame]

What? Hunh? T1, what's that?

 

[Fritz_Brown]

I think he means because it's kind of a variant of the "T".

Don't forget the SDB version with more space for the marines!

Exactly, Fritz.
